RT81 UHF High Power IP67 DMR Radio

After buying this as a gift for my husband it worked great for the first couple of times we used it. Suddenly it stopped working and I realized the time had passed to make a return. I contacted customer service and they went above and beyond sending us out a replacement radio and even paid for the shipping. We are very pleased with both the product and the wonderful customer service we received! Thank you so much for everything and I would highly recommend this product!

Great product. Would buy it again. Just cant use it yet until my call sign shows up on the fcc website.Well I got and I love it. The battery last at least 3 days if not 4 days. I got talk to my first contact. He was 10 miles away and crystal clear on both ends. Im going to buy another one. For the price these are well worth every penny.

This is a really great radio for the price. The battery goes and goes. Light and rugged. I use it as a mobile radio on my bicycle with a mobile antenna and headset.

I tried several different radios including the GMRS type. Just never could get any good range. Don't know how they can advertise a 30 or 40-mile range when everybody knows it ain't true! Decided on these radios and after testing I am very happy. I bought and used the long 18" antennas in order to increase the range and to conduct the range test. Ultimately I could get very good reception range of 3.5 miles with the power setting on 10 watts. This test was conducted across town with one radio stationary and located in a neighborhood that is about 50' below the level of the other radio. Basically one of the radios was in a deep hole which would kill the range of most radios. At 3.5 miles I was really shocked that I still had a good solid connection. I would have been happy with a range of 1.5 miles. The range did suffer some when transmitting from inside a vehicle. But even then I got over 1 mile. The radio is well built much like the Motorola radios. I love the fact that you can encrypt the radio traffic and not have to worry about others listening to your conversation. I had no problem connecting to the computer in order to change settings. Voice modulation was crystal clear. Love the clean face on the radio, very simple to use. Turn it on and select one of 16 channels. It even talks to you and lets you know what channel you have selected. This works great if you have it on your belt and can't see the channel numbers. Long press buttons on the side of the radio to change settings like power or to turn encryption on and off. Buttons are fully customizable using the computer software. Really helpful. I also like the fact that each radio has its own charger. The other thing is the accessories from Retevis are very reasonably priced and there's a ton of them. The only complaint I have is the radios did not come with the promised headset/earpiece. The missing parts have nothing to do with the overall function of the radio so I will still give it 5 stars. I have contacted Retevis and they did send me the missing earpieces and in fact, they upgraded them. Thanks for the support.

The RT81 transmit sounds much more clear and stronger.

These radios are great for simplex use, as the seller states: Not for amateur repeater use.

Works great for simplex DMR

Все работает, на дальность проверю , дополню

excellent way radios already bought 6 pieces

Radio functions are a bit limited compared to big bro MD390, but ok for the price and it looks sturdy enough. battery charger circuitry is definitely improved compared to older version in this series
